Our volunteers are vital to the success of our charity and it is lovely for us to be able to give something back.

Liz (pictured centre) has volunteered at
our Kettering day centre for nearly six
years.
She says “Many of the clients who
come to spend the day with us would
be on their own at home, so to see
them interacting with one another,
having a laugh, enjoying the activities
and lunch is lovely to see. To feel I
contribute to this makes me happy.”

volunteering at
our Kettering
day centre.
She says “I’ve
enjoyed my time
volunteering
over the past
18 months.
It’s interesting
helping and
meeting new
people. We have
so many laughs
along the way.”
Wendie Hutton, Day Care
Coordinator Northampton says
“It’s lovely to show how much
of a difference our volunteers make.”
Patricia says “I love volunteering
for Age UK Northamptonshire and
feel very appreciated. The clients
and staff make me feel so happy
and welcome. It puts a smile on
my face every time I visit.”
Our St. Giles shop retail team
celebrated their volunteers with festive
nibbles at the shop. Amanda (left) has
enjoyed working at the shop for a few
years now and Caroline (right) has been
with us for 11 years! They all lend a hand
to serving the customers, operating the
till, sorting donations and much more.
